Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

Debit to buyer might include new mortgage

A is incorrect because a new mortgage is not a debit to the buyer - it's actually a credit that offsets the purchase price. The debit would be the down payment portion the buyer pays out-of-pocket.

B

Debit to seller might include prepaid property taxes

B is incorrect because prepaid property taxes are a credit to the seller, not a debit. The seller receives a credit for taxes they've already paid but won't use (they won't own the property for that period).

C

Credit to buyer might include buyer-paid discount points

C is incorrect because discount points paid by the buyer are a debit to the buyer, not a credit. Points are prepaid interest that increases the buyer's closing costs.

D

Credit to seller might include property sale price
